WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON.
Why am I blocked and unfollowed.
Numbers changed.
You have a new boyfriend?
You hate each other now,
And then I'm just....What?

I literally have no clue
And I want to say that I couldn't care less.
Or some poetic **** about sadness
Or nostalgia welling up in my throat.

But I honestly just want to know
What the **** is happening.
But no one is going to fill me in.

I'm out.
Whatever.

"Break your neck,
And I will love you.
Like a bird that cannot fly."
I don't know why this resonates with me so much.
What does that say about me?

I wish it had been like this with us.
I didn't break my neck,
You did.
You broke both of our necks.
I guess I let you.
And now neither of us can fly
And we will starve to death,
Because neither of us can leave the nest for food.
Just waiting for the other to die
So we can have a different kind of nourishment.

You died first.
What does that say about me?

Eventually I will run out of drugs.
Eventually I'll have to get my **** together.
Eventually everyone will stop loving me.
"I wonder if a
watermelon would explode
in the camp fire?"

The watermelon
was placed in the fire. There
was no explosion

just some very warm
watermelon. No one died
Surprisingly.
A true story told in a series of haikus.
It's ironic that everything is so alive
just before everything dies.
the red orange golden leaves stutter in the breeze
as if waving goodbye.
The sun glances down some mornings,
but it's fleeting
for then the rain comes.
it is a time of bon fires
and pumpkin spiced everything.
when comforters crawl out of closets
draped over saggy shoulders.
When children bury themselves under the leaves
like animals
and spring from the earth
like bears.
Autumn is upon us for but a moment
a fleeting glimmer of sunlight
before we tuck into winter.

Goose swan geese duck.
